HOLD OLD CAPITOL BUILDING GENUINE Association of Oldest Inhab- itants Offers Vigorous De- fense at Meeting. Vigorous defense of the genuineness of the old brick Capitol, which is being torn down on Capitol Hill to make way for the new Supreme Court Building, featured a meeting of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of District of Columbia last night. John R. Mahoney, Artemas C. Har- mon and John Clagett Proctor all came forward with testimony to the fact that | the old building, about which they | said there had be:n some dispute, really | ‘was the old brick Capitol. Mahoney said that in the hearings | for condemnation of the property a| Government witness had claimed that all the old building had been torn down | and that this was a different building, | but Mahoney said he had refuted this | testimony. declaring that he knew the‘ original old building still stood, but hac been remodeled. Court Records Produced. All three speakers referred to the old “Flemish bond” construction of the original building, which had been cov- | ered over by later construction, bu which was revealed when the old hulld- ing was torn down. Harmon brought to the assoclation a number of records he said he had obtained from court | records to show that the building 1n\ reality was the old brick Capitol. He | said he talked to an old man on Capitol Hill who said he saw a hanging of sol< diers there when the place was used as & prison. Attention was called to the ill health of Maj. S. Willard Saxton of 1347 Har- LOUIS JACOBSON, Who_has spent more than 52 years in the War Department service and was | retired on August 1. Born in Germany, Mr. Jacobson enlisted in the American Army in 1878 and served several terms. Later he entered the civilian depart- | ment of the Army and came to Wash- ington in 1905 and was employed in :he Ordnance Department. In 1919 he was transferred to the fin: division of | the Quartermaster Corps and in 1920 to the office of the director of finance. | He reached the retirement age in 1922 :lnd his time has been extended four imes. ‘YOUNG BILL” WHITE WINS EMPORIA, Kans, August 7 (#).— W. L. (Young Bill) White, son of Wil- | liam Allen White, publisher of the Em- poria Gazette and author, has made his vard street, a vice president of the association and the oldest member, who | will be 101 years old next Wednesday. | In this connection James F. Duhamel, | vice president of the soclety, expressed | doubt that a Turk who has come to| this country claiming 154 years of age | was anything but a “fake.” | Praise Dr. Tindall. John Clagett Proctor, who presided | over the session, gave a report of the reception to Dr. William Tindall, vice president of the association, who was continued in the District of Co- lumbia government by act of Congress. Mr. Proctor praised Dr. Tindall, say- ing that all the tributes bestowed upon him at the reception did not turn head, but that he had seemed to “a) preciate it all most keenly.” Mr. Mahoney also related of stand- ing at Fifteenth and Pennsylvania ave- nue in front of the building then used as the State Department when Presi- dent Buchanan was inaugurated. cluded Isaac Gans.

An address on “Some Phases of the Ice Cream Business” was given by Charles Krey at a luncheon of the Lions Club in Hotel Mayflower yester- day. The address marked one of a se- ries of addresses to acquaint the mem- . bers of the club with the various busi- nesses of their fellow members. Wil- liam J. Brown, acting president of the €lub, presided. debut in Kansas politics by winning the Republican nomination for State Representative in Tuesday's primary. Although “Young Bill” is editor of | the Gazette, nothing favorable to his candidacy was permitted to appear in the newspaper. His opponent, W. A. Gladfelter, former president of the | County Farm Bureau, was given space | to set forth his claims. ite's father believed he should not ask ‘any one to vote for “Bill,” who made a house-to- Unexcelled Cooling System omplete Change of Air Every 1% Minutes < '.Ulle = Collier In COLUMBIA RD. ar I8 WST, 0PPOSITE AMBASSADOR TONIGHT =, mptmge ot we are featurine O to 7:00 Fricassee of Chicken and Biscuit, _Grilled Lamb Chops, Breaded Veal Cautlets.
